This Friday 21st, I am invited as an expert for the project group"
Interoperability, Open Standards, and Free Software" of the German
Parliament's "Enquete Internet und Digitale Gesellschaft" (EIDG). I had
to answer the following two questions before:

Question 1: The Free/Libre or Open Source Software (FLOSS) impact
study (http://www.flossimpact.eu/) shows that Free Software has
potentials for the European economy in the billion area. How did this
develop since 2007? How can Germany use those potentials better? What
are other countries doing, to use those potentials?

Question 2: There are many definitions of "Open Standard". Which
definition describes it best, what is meant with interoperability in
your opinion?

So on Friday from 11:00 to 13:00 there will be a public meeting about
interoperability and standards (registration
needed),
and from 14:00 to 16:00 Free Software is on the agenda (registration
needed).
So if you are in Berlin, and you are interested: just register and meet
me in the Bundestag! Else they also plan to have live streaming of the
event.
